the probe was installed 3 m above ground inside a protective cover to shade it 

 from direct sun, yet provide proper ventilation.

Atmospheric Pressure 



Measurement instruments 



Electronic atmospheric pressure sensor. Atmospheric pressure was 

 measiured with a YSI electronic sensor with analog output located in the laboratory 

 building at 9 m above NGVD. Data were recorded on the FRF computer. Data 

 from this gauge were compared with those from an NWS aneroid 

 barometer to ensure proper operation.
